South to San Felipe

Survived the border crossing into Mexicali on Hwy 7 South, east of the main (and new) border crossing.  I pretty much blew through, though they were backed up going the other way, US ICE agents doing everything they can to prevent the current national emergency, the uncontrolled flow of drugs and criminals from the south.  You no longer need a vehicle permit if you are just traveling in the Baja, just a stamp in the passport in immigration and you are on your way.  The path through Mexicali was great, signs directed me easily towards Rt. 5 and San Felipe.  I was on my way, heading south into the Baja, another adventure had begun.  Baja California, more than simply a place, its reputation suggests it is more of a state of mind.  I hope so, I am ready, I am excited.
